The orange faced dumbass tried to show the trumpanzees how tough he was by targeting killing the Iranian general. I’m sure someone lectured the conservanazi idiot and explained The Whole situation to him and how he f*cked . up. Then, president Dumbass blinked.

I’m hoping the Iranians decides to do something like hacking sites that contain his financial records and expose them for the world to see.

But why even come out and say anything, when his credibility is non-existent. Not just we me, or with Dems in general, but the majority of the WORLD knows he has zero credibility.

A madman who wants to start World War 3 by retaliating, or a coward afraid to defend his own country and people.

What should he do?

If he orders a retaliatory strike he's a madman, if he does not retaliate he's a coward...

What should he, and by proxy the US, do in response?

"What should he do in response?"

RESIGN and put the adults back in charge.

But I'm guessing that wasn't the response you wanted.

There is no “correct” answer here for Trump. As the other poster said, the closest to an acceptable solution would be to resign.
